RARE PATUXENT RIVER WATERFRONT! This show-stopping Cape Cod is more than a home — it’s a lifestyle! With EXPANSIVE sunset views, 5 bedrooms, 4.5 bathrooms and 5056 square feet of thoughtfully designed living space (not including the 2 bed 1 bath apartment above the garage leased for $20,700/year)! Located on 1.4 acres, this waterfront retreat pairs timeless craftsmanship with breathtaking natural beauty visible from all bedrooms! Lateral line survey and pier drawings underway!
From the moment you arrive, the stately brick exterior and welcoming front porch set the tone for what’s inside — warmth, comfort, and classic elegance. Step through the double doors into a grand foyer framed by oak and pine finishes, opening to a wide, sun-drenched living space where the river immediately steals the show. Walls of glass invite you to take in panoramic views from nearly every room, while rich hardwood floors, wood framed beams, and a handsome brick fireplace anchor the open-concept main level in charm and sophistication.
The kitchen is great for both everyday living and entertaining, boasting white cabinetry, granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, and an expansive peninsula that flows into the dining area. As meals are shared and laughter fills the air, the glow of the fireplace and glimmer of the water beyond create a feeling that’s both intimate and grand. Step through the sliding doors to a sprawling covered deck — the perfect place for morning coffee, nature watching, or toast to another stunning Southern Maryland sunset.
Upstairs, the very large primary suite offers a front-row seat to the river with access to an upper level full length covered porch and a cozy wood-burning fireplace. The ensuite bath is an indulgent escape featuring a custom tiled two-person shower, an oversized free standing soaking tub, a 9' custom vanity w/ a Calacatta Quartz vanity top, water closet, and access to the walk-in closet w/ custom built-ins. Two additional bedrooms w/ river views and porch access are serviced by a well appointed hall bathroom.
Just off the primary bathroom, a large laundry area serves as a pass through to the bonus room/bedroom located above the attached garage. The massive suite offers versatility at its finest. Accessible from inside the home or by a private exterior entrance, this oversized retreat could serve as a guest suite, home office, studio, or teen hideaway.
Downstairs, the fully finished walkout basement expands your living and entertaining options. Here you’ll find a large recreation room with a full bar — ideal for game nights or weekend gatherings — plus a wood-burning fireplace that adds warmth and character. Behind the bar, discover a hidden vault room ready for your wine collection, workshop, or secure storage. A full bath and 5th bedroom provide even more flexibility for guests, hobbies, or an office.
Step outside and follow the stairs down to your private kayak dock on the Patuxent River. Whether you’re kayaking at sunrise, fishing in the afternoon, or relaxing with a glass of wine at dusk, this is a place where every day feels like a getaway.
And just when you think this home couldn’t offer more, it does — with a beautifully renovated 2 bedroom 1 bathroom apartment above the detached garage. This space features a modern kitchen with granite counters, stainless appliances, in-unit washer and dryer, and a private deck. It’s the ideal setup for multi-generational living, an au pair, visiting guests, or rental income (currently $20,700/year).
From top to bottom, this property exudes craftsmanship, versatility, and serenity. It’s the kind of home where memories are made — gatherings by the fire, sunlit mornings on the deck, and quiet evenings as the river reflects the sky.
This isn’t just a house on the water. It’s the life on the water you’ve been dreaming of. Schedule your private showing today!
